PRETTY STATE
OF AFFAIRS
Davis'
Run Reservoir Considered by
the Borough Council.
W0MELSD0RFS STATEMENT
He Shoves the Responsibility for the
Material Used In the Work on
the Borough Council.
The Borough Council held a speclsl
meeting last night to take action on the
discovery of a leak in the breastwork of
the reservoir at Davis' Run. The meeting
was of short duration and it is not likely
that any steps will be taken In the matter
until after the new Council organizes.
While this was not decided upon, the in
clinations of the Council seemed to drift
that way.
A communication from Mr. Woraels-
dorf, the engineer, was read and its pur
port is to practically shove the responsi
bility for the break In the breastwork
upon the Borough Council. Of course,
the Councllmen do not agree with Mr.
Womelsdorf and his letter was subjected
) considerable criticism. 1
The engineer states that the material
used in the breastwork was faulty and
not of the character that should be used
for such work.
One of the most striking passages of
the letter Is that in which the engineer
tells the Borough Council that the proper
material should be found and used if the
borough wl.-hes to use the reservoir. This
is taken as a sweeping condemnation of
that part of the plant and quite nntur
ally it has occasioned inquiries from all
directions as to why the proper material
was not used in the first place. The en
gineer says he advised against the material
that is now in the reservoir and, constj
quently, he is not to blame. But, on the
other hand, it is pointed out as a matttr
of record that when a part of the works
was being constructed the engineer
not only obj?cted, but practically stopped
ic until the responsibility for any trouble
that 'might follow was fixed. Why he
did not act with the same work on the
riei-voll now complained 3t Is n1juesciou
to be decided later. The Councllmen
claim he should not have allowed the
work to proceed when it did not meet
with his views, as he had full power in
the matter.
Mr. Womelsdorf's communication con-
c tided, "We can never rely upon the
reservoir to hold water until the ca
material Is removed and the goo 1 moun
tain material, such as we used In the con
struction ot the distributing reservoir, is
substituted." This, some of the Council-
men say, means a prictlcal reconstruc
tion ot the reservoir.
After some dicussion Mr. Gafflgan
moved that the water committer be
directed to Investigate the leak in tlie
reservoir and make any repairs deemed
advisable at once. The motion was
carried.

There is no line of business in which
phases of life are more strongly con
trasted than in the newspaper business,
This was impressed upon our minds with
more than usual effect yesterday when
we tur ed our attention to the festivities
attending the marriage ot two o our
friends Immediately after recording the
obsequies of the deceased member of the
staff of our contemporary, tho Sunday
News. This contrast furnishes food for
reflection by the people who are not in the
business, but imagine that they could run
a newspaper to perfection. It Is oil very
well for people to boast of how they
would seize an opportunity to "spread
out" on this or that particular subject,
but let them get down to the undisguised,
practical work of getting out a dally
newspaper and handling subjects humor
oas, sentimental and otherwise, as they
come along, and see where many ot thein
will land. The great, trouble with mot
people is that they labor under the
impression that newspaper staffs are
always divided Into corps and each has its
special line to follow, such as the snake
editor devotes his whole time to serpen
tine fancies, the society editor docs noth
ing but feast his eyes on the belles ot
social circles and their elaborate ward
robes, when he is not satisfying his

Has Sued For Libel.
Jacob Stelntierg, of Mahanoy City, was
a visitor to town to-day. Mr. Steinberg
has brought a libel suit against Tlioma
Joyce, publisher and editor of tho
Mahanoy City Daily American, for th -'imblicatiou
of an article on Wednesday
Inst of which the following is an extract:
'On Centre street, a few doors below
Catawissa, lives a tough visaged, beetle-
browed represent itive of the race that
drove the spikes through the out
stretched hands ot Christ that held hlta
on the cross. This man's name Is Jacob
Steinberg. His mission on earth seem
to be the extraction ot money from,
Ignorant foreigners by selling them
watches aud clocks tint never keep time
of any kind and jewelry that he repre
sents to be made of the finest gold 'so
help me meiu Moses,' but which will
scarcely hold its color of bronze till
Steinberg pocljets the victim's money.
Steinberg runs nn adjustable 'jewelry'
store at bis residence, aud if a sucker
calls, Jacob has merchandise to display
but when the constable calls to make a
levy, Steinberg's stock disappears. He
has figured in almost every police court
in this town, he has been kicked and
battered by the people whom he has t!c
tlmized, but he comes to the surface every
time in a new disguise."
Mr. Steinberg wns engagod in business
in Shenandoah for two years and in Gil
berton for one year and he will call upon
the people with whom he transacted
business in these places to prove whea
the libel suit Is tried that he never de
frauded any one.
